The Major League is composed of 30 teams 29 which are located in the United States and 1 that is located in Canada. Compared to in 1930 when that Major Leagues consisted of 16 teams. The growth of the sport also triggered a growth in the amount of teams there are as well as the publicity that surrounds the game. The formation of the Florida Marlins was in 1993 and throughout there existence they won 2 World Series titals, them winning was not the issue that they changed there name and location.
Some say that the reason they changed there name was because there stadium was shared with the Miami Dolphins and was not the ideal place to play. But the real reason was becasue the name was under lease by Sun Life Stadium (there old stadium) so when they changed locations to the new feild they had to change the name of there team as well.
Here is a picture of the new stadium.
